As part of our exploration of holistic wellbeing, the Year 11s engaged in a series of wellbeing experiences on Friday 3 July. An opening address by SMC’s very own, Nicole Lloyd about the importance of mental wellbeing in striving for success.

The students then rotated through sessions of yoga and meditation

JumpJam and ‘modified’ dodgeball

And contemplative art

The art was created by doing a blind drawing of their own hand and then creating their own designs around this base.

The key messages for the day were all about finding different ways to enhance their own wellbeing through the five key ideas: being connected, being active, taking notice, learning and giving your presence.

Thank you to the staff who supported the girls on the day: Peg, Julia Smith, Julie Seymour, Gill Blackler and Nicole Lloyd. Also thank you to Schira Withers for facilitating the art sessions as well as Warehouse Stationery South City for their support.
